Electrocoagulation of landfill leachate: Transforming a hazardous residue into a source of irrigation water.

Electrocoagulation of landfill leachate has been widely investigated, however, only few reports include the reuse of the treated water. In this work, treated leachate is evaluated as irrigation water. The main obstacle is the high Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR=Na/(Ca+Mg)/2.

Superficial Grain Refinement of 316L Stainless Steel by Rolling with Rough Rolls.

This study presents a novel approach to producing superficial micro- and nanostructures using a cold rolling process with rough rolls, followed by low-temperature annealing. The proposed technique attempts to recreate the superficial deformation occurring in the sandblasting process. It allows for the generation of an inhomogeneous network, or tangle, of high-deformation zones on the material's surface that act as nucleation centers during the subsequent annealing process.
